COMBINED GHALICE AND PATEN.

Application filed June 16, 1917.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, WILLIAM A. DAY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Providence, in the county of Providence and State of Rhode Island, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Combined Chalices and Patens, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in a combined chalice and paten, and it has for a primary object to provide an article of this character especially constructed for sanitary purposes.

The invention consists in forming the cup bowl, paten and the pedestal support for the two in separate parts so that the finished article may readily be dis-assembled for being washed and cleaned and then re assembled for use.

Further, the invention resides in the features of construction, the arrangements and combinations of parts hereinafter described and claimed, reference being had to the accompanying drawings wherein- Figure 1 is a top plan view of the combined chalice and paten constructed in accordance with the present invention, and

Fig. 2 is a vertical section through the cup and paten depicting the mounting of the same on the pedestal base, the latter being partly in elevation.

Referring more in detail to the drawing, the numeral 1 designates the base and 2 the stem of the pedestal support for the cup 3 and the paten 4. The pedestal is preferably hollow throughout and has the upper tubular end of the stem 2 formed with an annular seat 5 and a concaved seat 6 within the seat 5 and from which depends a short sleeve 7 that is internally threaded for engagement by the screw 8 of the cup 3.

The paten 4 comprises a Hat ring-like body suitably designed and preferably embodying a border flange 9. Centrally of the ring-like body, the paten is provided with a depending bowl or cup-shaped extension 10 for seating on the stem seat 5, the same being clamped to its seat by the cup 3 when the latter is secured in position on the stem. This bowl or cup-shaped extension is provided with a central aperture through which the screw 8 is passed in engaging said screw with the sleeve 7, and conformably receives the cup body 3 in a snug fit. The upper pe- Specification of Letters Patent.

ripheral edge of the paten extension is oined to the surrounding ring-like body by the raised bead 11 which constitutes a border for the inner edge of said body.

The base of the screw 8, where the latter joins the cup body, is enlarged, as at 12, said enlargement being of a convexity conforming to the concavity of seat 6 and having its maximum diameter substantially equal to that of the central opening in the extension 7 of the paten. This enlargement constitutes a centering device for properly positioning the paten in concentric relation with the cup.

The cup securely clamps the paten to the pedestal in one solid and unitary structure which may readily and facilely be disassembled for thoroughly cleaning each part, espeeially at the joints between the several parts. The combined chalice and paten may be stored and shipped in a small package, and quickly set up into a complete and assembled article.

Further, should it be desired to omit the paten from the chalice, the screw 8 may be advanced still more into the sleeve 7 until the enlargement 12 snugly fits the conformed seat 6. In this construction, the article is also neatly finished and well balanced in des1gn.

Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is 1. In a combined chalice and paten, a pedestal having a hollow stem formed at its upper end with an annular seat, an inner concaved seat and an internal depending sleeve, a paten engaging on the annular seat of the stem and provided with a central opening, and a cup having a depending screw passing through the opening of the paten and threadedly engaging the sleeve of the stem for drawing the cup down onto the paten to clamp the latter to its seat.

2. In a combined chalice and paten, a pedestal having a stem formed at its upper end with a seat and a central threaded opening, a cup having a screw engageable in the stem opening for securing the cup thereto, and a paten having a central cup-like extension conformably receiving the cup and provided with a central opening through which the cup screw passes for clamping the paten extension between its seat and the cup.

3. In a combined chalice and paten, a pedestal support having an annular seat, a concaved seat and a central screw threaded opening, a paten engaging on the annular 5 seat andprovided with an opening, and a chalice having a screw formed with an enlarged base conformable to the concave seat of the pedestal support for entering the paten opening and centering the paten relative to the chalice, the latter clamping the 19 paten to its seat.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing Witnesses.
